Former President Donald Trump and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell have reconciled after years of estrangement. The two met during a GOP lunch and an NRSC meeting, describing the interactions as positive. They shook hands multiple times and even shared a fist bump. Trump praised McConnell for his efforts to grow the Senate majority, and McConnell reciprocated the positive sentiment.

Senate GOP Conference Chair John Barrasso and Senator Mike Braun also noted the unity and reconciliation demonstrated during the meeting.
